Our guide was excellent. It was a very informative trip. We learned a lot and plan to visit Brookgreen Gardens again after learning more about it on the tour.

The trolley is clean, the driver was cautious and the guide was very knowledgeable! . The guide told us wonderful ghost stories, fantastic local family histories and pirate tales of the area . She made it more intimate with personal family history tidbits thrown in ! We totally enjoyed the tour ! If you’re thinking about it, book it !!!
Excellent tour. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. I've lived in Myrtle Beach for 11+ years and saw and learned about things I didn't know existed. So many things to go back and see and do.
Excellent bang for your buck! Learned so much and our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and her love for this area came through loud and clear!
Great time learning more than about the area. Even the rain could not stop the fun. We would love to take different one
Not at all what we expected. We drove the entire time and she talked non stop without letting anyone ask questions. We never really saw anything. Drove by and had to look thru trees. Not a good one.
This is a narrated tour of stories of local ghosts, historic figures, pirates, and artists and how they are all associated with each other. Tour guide was super knowledgeable and an effective storyteller. Very interesting stories! Trolley car was well air conditioned and driver was a true chauffeur. One may consider bringing a cushion to sit for enhanced comfort on the quaint trolley bench seating.
Docent extremely knowledgeable and funny! Am a local who enjoyed learning facts I never knew. Thoroughly enjoyable…
Tour guide was exceptional. It was a fun and informative tour. I would definitely recommend. Great way to spend a few hours.
This is our 2nd time on this trolley, the first time we had a medical emergency and they were amazing! On this, our second go around, they were very welcoming and even hugged my husband glad he is ok! Amazing tour driver and storytelling!
Good experience, great stories, would highly recommend
No matter which trip and whatever the weather is these trolley trips are fun! This year we did ghosts, last year was movies and music. This Wednesday we're taking the military history in WWII of MB. The two ladies who do this, one drives and one speaks, could not be nicer or better at their jobs. The trolley is both comfortable as far as temperature and the seat. Walkers are no problem for them. Give a trip a try!
Great story told by someone who loves the area and the history
Not offered in February contrary to Viator ads...a great disappointment
Kathryn is a storyteller who brings the local history and legends to life — the planning to take her other tour, too!
This was a very pleasant and informative tour. My tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and told some interesting stories about the area. I highly recommend this tour; you won't be disappointed.
We were really trying to find a history /fun stuff to see, and this was the closes I could find when we booked. It totally wasn't what we wanted.
There is one bathroom stop and you don’t have to get off the bus when they do stop Nate stories, the host knows her history of the area
The breath of knowledge and the way the tour guide told you the history. A most memorable moment. I give it 5 stars. The trip could have been 1 hour more at least. I was expecting nice weather and a little history. However, I was spellbound by the time she finished. The entire experience was great and checked off all the boxes. This tour is the only way to learn about Myrtle Beach.
Catherine is an excellent story teller. She delivered so much information in such a short time and kept our interest throughout the tour.
The tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. The trolley was cold even with the 90+ degree July weather. 10/10 recommend. We will be doing another tour next year!
Great trip. Our guide was spoken, very knowledgeable and informative. Wish there a little more time for shopping at the Hammock Shops.
Kathryn is a wonderful storyteller. She was entertaining and informative. It was apparent she loves the area, and is well versed in its history.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, maybe too much so. She told a ton of stories, at such a fast pace that at times it was difficult to follow along. The seats are rather small and a very obese man decided to share my seat, essentially squeezing me in against the window. The 3 stops are very short, so I was barely able to get enough time to walk and stretch before being seated again. The first stop was 5 minutes at the cottage in Brookgreen. Second stop was 15 minutes at a hammock shop that doubled as restroom break. I found it kinda random and disconnected that we stopped to see a hammock making demonstration. Kinda odd. Third stop was 5 minutes at a panoramic overlook. There wasn’t any time given at any stop for any shopping, eating, or free time. By the end of the tour, most of us were overloaded, exhausted and glad it was over. I was glad to not be seated next to that man any longer.
Was great thank you. A little too many folks on the bus. Katherine and Rose were very helpful - appreciate Katherine sharing her knowledge & stories with my adult family members.
The plantation and the pirate story’s. it was all very interesting. ! Narrator was very knowledgable . The trolley was clean just a very pleasant experience.
Great job! I was intrigued soon as I stepped on the bus. Katherine’s knowledge of the area was superior. Her storytelling was awesome.
The curator was extremely knowledgeable. We learned so many interesting facts about the history of Myrtle Beach. Would definitely consider doing another tour during our next trip.
Great trip and narration ... the information was great and trolly was comfortable. Lovely stops. Makes you want to come back
Enjoyed the tour and the stories. It was a rainy day and the trolley windows were all fogged up. Also it was difficult to hear the tour guide (not her fault there was a special needs child on the tour who moaned throughout the tour).
The person narrating was so full of stories. Hardly catching a breath. Talking so fast everything was running together and you really couldn’t get it in your brain long enough to understand what she was saying. She needs to pick a couple of stories. Maybe see if anybody has a question about the area.
Listening to ghost stories and folklore. Beautiful scenery, kindness of the staff, suggested places to visit.
Our guide talked for 2 full hours telling all kinds of very interesting stories. She had a fascinating history herself & obviously loves her work. We saw a lot of new areas that most Myrtle Beach visitors wouldn’t see.
We loved all the tales of local lore, mystery and history, told by a very knowledgeable hostess Katherine. We wish each stop was a bit longer and that the trolley could actually take a quick pass through Brookgreen Gardens. It seems like Katherine had to speak SO FAST to get all her stories in.
We stayed at the Prince Resort and it was great to be so close to the beach. The pools are nothing special but you have almost no distance from the hotel to the waves. My husband and son played golf 2 days and I read and enjoyed the ocean. Our balcony could be accessed from the master bedroom and the living room and it was great to be able to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the sunrise. Sunset on the balcony was gorgeous, as well. We went to Medieval Times and had a blast! We weren't prepared to eat with our hands, but we managed! The performers stayed in character and did a great job. We plan to go back and take our grandsons on some future trip! We had a great trip and I will look at Prince Resort for accomodations, for sure!
It was the most boring trip I have ever taken. The tour operator was not interactive with the tourists at all. She was a narcissist in every sense of the word. You could tell she enjoyed talking non stop and focused on herself and talked so fast you couldn't understand half of her stories. Not being able to stop at any place of interest and the one stop we were allowed off the trolley didn't last 15 minutes. The poor shop keepers didn't have time to sell their products. So Sad...
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. The stories were spooky and terrific. The stop at Brookgreen Gardens really made me want to visit next time I visit the area. We also stopped at the Hammock Shop. The hammock maker was awesome. Very personable. The stops were great but the stories were the star of the show. Thanks to all for a great time.
This was awesome! The narrator was so knowledgeable, interactive, and made history and myths come to life.
My childhood best friend and I traveled to South Carolina and were excited for this tour because we love pirates and ghosts! This tour was great! The trolley is so pretty Miss Kathryn was the tour guide and she was fantastic! A southern belle with extensive knowledge of the area and its stories! This activity is family friendly and a great experience, I’m so glad we did this! Thank you so much to Miss Kathryn who let us take beautiful photos on the back of the trolley, and thank you for teaching us a thing or two about Myrtle beach! If we’re ever back in the area we will return!
The guide was excellent. A true local with off the beaten path knowledge. Wish we could have done all the tours the offered!
The guide was very knowledgeable of facts from around the area. Although the stops were quick you got a sense of what the stop was all about. We had a very nice time which was what we were looking for.
The most memorable part was I was told the wrong time and then I couldn't get a refund or a time when we were here to redo it. So we just threw money out the window...
Great tour guide with so many interesting facts and stories. Well organized and planned. Highly recommend.
She was very informative and had tons of stories to share. Very interesting to learn about the ghost stories and pirate background of Myrtle Beach.
The moderator was filled with knowledge and personal experience. She was delightful and entertaining! I am going home and paint my porch roof blue … just to be safe!
We really enjoyed Pawleys Island. It would have been nice to spend more time there. Brookgreen Gardens was also nice. I would have enjoyed seeing more than the one house.
If you enjoy ghost and pirate stories, this tour is for you. Our tour guide shared lots of interesting information and stories from as far back as 200 years ago.
We really enjoyed this tour. Kathryn was very knowledgeable about the history of Murrell’s Inlet and Pawleys Island. Really enjoyed her ghost and pirate stories. One suggestion Kathryn- you really need to write a book! I for one would buy it! Thank you for a great tour.
What a wonderful tour. Very informative, we saw so many things we would never have found by ourselves. The tour guide was top notch, really knew her stuff. The driver was excellent. Highly recommnend
My brother, sister-in-law, niece and I took the tour and I must say Kathryn, the narrator, was amazing. The tour itself was incredible. It was a great mix of ghost stories and historical facts, and add in the chance to get off the trolley several times, and this tour was second to none! From one tour guide to another, thank you, and job well done!!
